No, it is not a chemical reaction. Chemical reactions occur when one or more chemical compound reacts to give one or more different chemical compounds. When oil and water are mixed, they can be separated to give the original amounts of oil and water without any new chemical compounds <==============================================3
What else can I help you with?
Is mixing oil and water chemical or physical?
It is a physical change because the oil and the water do not change in chemical composition.
Is mixing oil and vinegar a physical or chemical reaction?
Physical. Anything that can be separated by physical means is a physical change, and you can separate oil from vinegar by skimming it off the top. You are also not making a new substance. In order to have a chemical reaction occur you must produce a new substance, not just a mixture. For example, vinegar and baking soda will produce carbon dioxide gas.
What Chemical change is mixing flake graphite with oil?
your mixing two chemicals together so of course its a chemical change
Is mixing oil and water a chemical change?
Oil floating on water is not a "change", so asking whether it's a physical change or a chemical one is nonsense. To the extent there's any meaning at all to the question, it's a phenomenon caused by the physical properties of the two materials.
What substances combine without a chemical reaction?
Substances like oil and water can mix without undergoing a chemical reaction, forming a mixture. Similarly, sugar and water can dissolve into each other without a chemical reaction occurring. These are physical changes where the substances retain their original properties.
Is mixing and separating oil and water a chemical reaction?
No, it is a physical process.
Is mixing oil and vinegar into salad dressing a chemical reaction?
yes because salad dressing is a suspension of vinegar that will separate into layers if left undisturbed.
Is mixing oil and water chemical or physical?
It is a physical change because the oil and the water do not change in chemical composition.
Is mixing oil and water a physical or a chemical change?
When oil and water mix it is due to an emulsifier being added to the solution. The emulsifier has one hydrophobic tail which will attach to the oil and one hydrophilic tail which attaches to the water. It is more of a chemical change than a physical one since the oil and water don't change state, however they will not form an emulsification without an aid so its technically not due to a chemical reaction between the water and oil alone either.
Is separating oil and water a chemical reaction?
This is not a chemical reaction. When this happens it is clearly just called Chemical Seperation as the two chemicals do not bind due to density.
Is mixing oil and vinegar a physical or chemical reaction?
Physical. Anything that can be separated by physical means is a physical change, and you can separate oil from vinegar by skimming it off the top. You are also not making a new substance. In order to have a chemical reaction occur you must produce a new substance, not just a mixture. For example, vinegar and baking soda will produce carbon dioxide gas.
What liquid mix's with oil?
Water does not mix with oil because oil is hydrophobic and water is hydrophilic. Mixing water with oil will result in the water forming droplets or a separate layer due to their different chemical properties.
Oil and water mixing?
no oil and water do not mix
Will mixing oil and baking soda make a explosion?
no reaction
What Chemical change is mixing flake graphite with oil?

What is the chemical reaction for oil and water?
Oil and water do not react chemically; they are immiscible due to differences in polarity. Oil is nonpolar and water is polar, so they do not mix and form separate layers instead.
Is mixing oil and water a chemical change?
Oil floating on water is not a "change", so asking whether it's a physical change or a chemical one is nonsense. To the extent there's any meaning at all to the question, it's a phenomenon caused by the physical properties of the two materials.
